This is also one of the flagship projects of the Rail Land Development Authority (RLDA), a statutory body under the Railway Ministry.
According to the RLDA, the station will be equipped with new-age amenities such as dome-shaped terminal buildings, 40-floor high-rise twin towers, pedestrian boulevard with high-street shopping and two Multi-Modal Transport Hubs (MMTH) on each side of the station.
The redevelopment of the major railway station will boost tourism aspects and aid in the socio-economic development of the region.
The RLDA is currently working on the redevelopment of 62 railway stations in a phased manner. In the first phase, the RLDA has prioritized prominent stations like New Delhi, Dehradun, Tirupati, Nellore, Puducherry, Panipat, and Ernakulam for redevelopment.
